I've got lots to add tomorrow but this is a quicky.

My new favorite thing to make- enameled silvered ivory

I just take effetre pale ivory, get a grape-sized gather. Roll in silver foil, burnish, burn off. Reheat this silvered gather and roll once in moss green enamel. Melt that layer smooth then roll in the moss green enamel a second time. Melt that smooth and then pull down your stringer.

Depending on how heavy-handed you are with the enamel, and how long you cook it once it's applied, you get different levels of color tint in your silvered ivory. I went too gung ho with my last batch and lost the lacy effect. Less is more.

Here it is encased and left on the surface.
